Ingredients
  

12 mini tostada shells

1 cup cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works perfectly!)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)

1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 cup guacamole

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking the tostada bites.

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the taco seasoning. Stir well until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning, allowing the flavors to meld.

      Assemble the Tostada Bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup. Arrange the mini tostada shells on the sheet. In each shell, layer a spoonful of the seasoned chicken, followed by a few black beans, diced tomatoes, and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.

        Bake the Tostada Bites: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the tostada bites for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.

          Add Fresh Toppings: Once baked, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add a slice of jalapeño on top of each tostada for an extra kick of flavor.

            Serve: Top each mini tostada bite with a dollop of sour cream and a scoop of guacamole. Finish the presentation by garnishing with fresh cilantro. Serve alongside lime wedges for squeezing over the bites, adding a touch of brightness.

              Enjoy: Dive in while they’re warm and cheesy for the ultimate flavor experience!
